Along with conducting preventive practices, like regular checkups, immunizations, routine blood work, and blood pressure checks, our medical care team at Bridgewater Primary Care & Cardiology also recommends the following preventive practices to protect yourself and your loved ones:
- Mammograms: Used as a diagnostic and screening tool, this type of routine imaging of the breasts checks for any signs of abnormal tissue growth or other irregularities and helps detect the early onset of breast cancer.
- Flu shots: This vaccine lowers the risk of the recipient catching certain strains of the flu virus.
- Colonoscopy: In addition to detecting conditions, like colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other bowel conditions, this test screens for precancerous and cancerous colon polyps growing on the inside of the colon’s lining.
Preventive Care Reviews
The Doctor spent a lot of time discussing my medical issues with me unlike my previous physician. He believes in preventive care and gave me the tests and referrals I needed. He is an independent physician with a very experienced staff. My overall experience was excellent and I recommend this practice highly.
